Renewing wedding vows after 22 years?

This is incredibly easy to do. Take it in five easy steps:

First: Set the scene; surprise her with her favourite meal, show here you have been slaving away all day. Set the table, add some candles, some soft music, some wine. When she arrives home have a rose petalled bath run for her (again with candles, wine, soft music and add big fluffy towels). Send her for a bath while you finish the starters.

Second: Change into your most formal suit, add some aftershave and be certain to put the 'renewal engagement ring' somewhere safe. You don't want an accident at your age whilst on your knees looking for it ;)

Third: When your re-bride to be appears refreshed and relaxed be charming and attentive as you serve her meal. Stroke her shoulders as you pass, nibble her ear, tell her you love her more with each passing year.

Four: Get on your knees and ask her to re-marry you. Don't forget the re-engagement ring. As you take her hand and lead her upstairs for desert then casually drop in the new friends with benefits clause make sure you make it light hearted and wink.

Step five: you are married, I don't need to explain.

In two days, you will be absolutely certain you approached this question with your prospective bride in the correct way.

How?

On the second morning, despite all that has happened since, you will get confirmation by letter..................................................................................................

Divorce proceedings. Lol. Good luck with that one. Do let us know how you get on!

I think you shouldn't be too surprised if you find a bit of opposition there. Not too many women would appreciate their husbands wanting to do something romantic like re-new their vows only so they can sleep with other people. Kinda puts a damper on the gesture. Then again, each to their own! She might be thinking the same thing but doesn't know how to approach the topic with you! You know your wife better than anyone so only you can be the judge of that. Just beware that if she doesn't go for the idea then you are going to have major sucking up to do to get back in her good books.

what a great way to ruin a beautiful expression of your love!

if you and your wife have that kind of arrangement go for it, but really do you need us to answer that for you? no one knows your wife better than you. you should already know the answer to that. if you're really seriously considering it, i would try throwing it out there as a joke and just see what her reaction is. But beware, once the flood gates open there's no going back. you really have to be sure that's what you want. you could be sealing your fate as a soon to be divorced man.

What are you? You are MARRIED. It would STILL be cheating. I can't believe you would even consider the clause. I think you should let her go if you want to be with someone else.

When she smacks you for the suggestion, can we laugh?

Sweetie - renew the vows, lose the clause.

Make sure that she is ok with the friends with benefits clause and make sure that you are going to be able to handle it..My experience has been that men are fine with it until they see or have knowledge of their lady with another man..

lol

(((Icy)))

Why dont you just say I dont love you anymore? Do you really think you wont feel jealous when your wife starts spending alot of time with her new male freind?Why dont you just get a divorce because thats where this is headed.

I would think that if you tried to insert that clause on your 22 wedding anniversary, you wouldn't have to worry about how to top it for your 23rd anniversary, because you'll be alone by then.

Send her a muffin basket with an attached note. You can't go wrong with a muffin basket, mate. ;)

just make it sound tempting to HER....what the benefits for her are, make it sound like you're thinking about her, like this is for her benefit, not yours. if you're really tricky, you might even get HER to suggest it...or at least mention it.
